Leading lady Scarlett Johansson appeared on stage as Catherine in the Broadway revival of A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE, for which she received a 2010 Tony Award. 

Johansson will next appear on the cover of the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair, and she tells the magazine's website that her Tony experience won't be fading from memory anytime soon. "I felt I was forever changed by that experience," the actress says.

The impact of her experience, she muses, came from the amount of time she spent getting into her character. "[A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE] completely took me over in every way. I’d spent four months bleeding all over the stage, completely exposed...It was unbelievable holding that Tony."

Johansson's film credits include "The Horse Whisperer," "Lost in Translation," "Girl with a Pearl Earring," "The Black Dahlia," "The Other Boleyn Girl" and "Vicky Cristina Barcelona." 

She can be seen in movie theaters this December opposite Matt Damon in "We Bought a Zoo"; Johansson also joined Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Gwenyth Paltrow and more for "The Avengers," which is slated for a May 2012 release.
